The Xunta will invest a total of 570,000 euros to rehabilitate and improve the Camino Primitivo as it passes through Galicia.
The regional government wants to promote the "others" Jacobean routes to decongest the French Way. This half a million euros is only a small part of total Jacobean investment which has an overall plan of the regional government for the forthcoming year amounting to 8 million.
However, this plan will only succeed if the Ministry of Development agrees to provide 75 per cent of this amount.
In the case of the Camino Primitivo, conditioning of the route will involve an investment of 250,000 euros, the actions of recovery, conservation and promotion of cultural heritage will absorb another 200,000 euros, and finally, the work on improving infrastructure and services such as shelters and care facilities for the pilgrims, will have a budget of 120,000 euros.
The Camino Primitivo is well known because it was the one that followed the King Alfonso II el Casto in the ninth century to visit the newly discovered tomb of St. James. The current route faithfully reproduces the original, starting from Oviedo and Asturias across all the councils of the West: Regueras, Grado, Salas, Tineo, Pola de Allande y Grandas de Salime. El Camino Primitivo enters Lugo through el puerto del Acebo y enlaza with el Camino Francés in Palas de Rei two days walk to Santiago de Compostela.
